Explain with diagram what is meant by the "series combination" and "parallel combination" of resistances. In which case the resultant resistance is : (i) less, and (ii) more, than either of the individual resistances?

उत्तर
The series resistance is given by R = R1 + R2 + R3 + R4. Hence, it is more than the individual resistance.
The parallel resistance is given by 1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 + 1 / R4. Hence, it is less than the individual resistance.
